IF WE COULD HAVE A CHOICE...
Not The Answer
Hypocrisy
The consumer, the stockholder, the worker and
the average guy in the street as well as business and
industry in general are about to fall victim to an
effort to isolate the United States from the rest of
the world.
Since sponsoring the Foreign Trade and Invest*
ment Act of 1971 (commonly known as the Hartke-
Burke bill) last October, an intensive campaign has
been conducted to win support for this unsound piece
of legislation. If passed, this bill could cost the United
States up to 600,000 domestic jobs, billions of dollars
in remitted earnings abroad, up to 80 per cent of its
total exports, and billions of dollars in increased
prices.
In ajddition, this bill would effectively isolate the
United States economically and politically from the
rest of the world and almost surely signal the decline
of the United States to a second rate economic power.
It would give the President a new "super" agency
to dictate when a United States firm can invest
abroad, license or sell a patent to a foreign affiliate,
and what and how much of a product can be imported.
Labor's concern for United States jobs is shared
by all of us, but the answer to the problem is not the
reactionary approach suggested in the Hartke-Burke
bill. The answer lies in making President Nixon's economic policy work, stimulating exports, working for
the elimination of non-tariff barriers w& impcttving
domestic productivity. It is time that our leaders
recognize their responsibility to be a constructive
father than a reactionary force in our society.

Give The People A Chance
In the last decade, Federal government expenditures have skyrocketed, as almost everyone knows.
Tjtiis fiscal year, Uncle Sam's budget was $125.2 billion higher than it was 10 years ago. Seventy-eight
per cent of this increase, significantly, has been in
non-defense spending. Worse yet, the estimated deficit for the 1972 fiscal year is 88.8 billion, with an
additional 25.5 billion deficit estimated for 1978.
An effective way to halt this trend is to reduce
Federal income by prescheduling periodic reductions
of the income tax rates. This is the opinion of Dr.
ftf. B. Ture, a leading Washington tax and economic
consultant.
In a recent industry sponsored study, Dr. Ture
pointed out that other means, of control have failed
because they could not come to grips with expenditure growth factors, particularly those termed "ttn-
controlable," such as interest on the national debt
and social security payments.
He explained that revenue gains from high taxes
permit the addition of new programs Without reducing oW ones. He cited Prof. Milton Friedman's statement that, "Historically, public expenditures always
increase sufficiently to pre-empt .any increase in public revenues - and then some."
Therefore, Dr. Ture suggests limiting government's income by reducing tax rates. This would have
the additional advantage of allowing individuals more
money to meet their own need and businesses mote
opportunity to expand and create new jobs- We think
this makes real sense and that Congress should do
something about it. - , '....• ..'''■-..
The man who says he is kept away from region
by hypocrites is not influenced by them anywhere
piaffe
Business is full of them, but if he sees a chance
at making money he does not stop for that.
Society is crowded with them, and yet he never
thinks of becoming a hermit.
Married Ife is full of them, but that floesn't
make him remain a bachelor.
Hell is full of them, and yet he doesn't do a thing
to keep himself from going there.
He wants to have you think that he is trying to,
avoid the society of hypocrites and yet he takes not
aTngle step toward Heaven, the only place where no
hypocrites can fo!

Council's observance of the 60th
anniversary of Girl Scouting
and Girl Scout Week.
Sunday will be the actual anniversary of the organization of
the first troop in 1912 in Savannah, Ga., by the founder Juliette
Gordon Low.
Girl Scouting did not come to
the Canton area until a dozen
years later, in March, 1924,
when the first charter was
granted to Mrs. H. H. Timken
Sr., board president of Canton
Girl Scouts Inc. At that time
there were 2,200 scouts ages
7-17 with 510 adult volunteer
leaders.
Today, nationwide membership in the organization is 4
million. This includes 3,250,000
girls and 670,000 adults. Since
1912, there have been almost
32 million members.
Juliette Low's objective in
beginning Girl Scouting was to
"inspire girls with the highest
ideals of character, conduct,
patriotism, and service so that
they may become happy and resourceful citizens." This' still
is the objective of today's organization.
Great Trail Council has a
membership of over 12,000 girls
and 2,000 adults. The Council
serves Stark, Tuscarawas, and
Carroll Counties plus parts of
Wayne, Mahoning, Columbiana,
and Harrison counties.
Both adults and girls will
mark their 60th birthday this
year by taking part in Special
Community service projects,
by attending worship services
together on Sunday, March 12,
and by each lighting the World
Trefoil luminaria symbolizing
the unity of Girl Scouts and
Girl Guides all over the world.
SCOUT BIRTHDAY. Mrs. John Underwood of 909
Overridge Ave. SE, Shawnee. District chairman for Great
Trail Girl Scout Council, very graciously consented to pose
(left) in this World War I era leader's uniform, while East.
Neighborhood chairman Mrs. Lynn Young of 3484 Mt.
Pleasant Rd. NW, models the latest leader attire to demonstrate just one of the changes in girl scouting in its 60-
year-history.

Lighted luminaries at the
homes of girl scouts Sunday,
Mar. 12, between 7 and 9
p.m. will kick off Great Trail
Council's observance of the 60th
anniversary of Girl Scouting
and Girl Scout Week.
Sunday will be the actual anniversary of the organization of
the first troop in 1912 in Savannah, Ga., by the founder Juliette
Gordon Low.
Girl Scouting did not come to
the Canton area until a dozen
years later, in March, 1924,
when the first charter was
granted to Mrs. H. H. Timken
Sr., board president of Canton
Girl Scouts Inc. At that time
there were 2,200 scouts ages
7-17 with 510 adult volunteer
leaders.
Today, nationwide membership in the organization is 4
million. This includes 3,250,000
girls and 670,000 adults. Since
1912, there have been almost
32 million members.
Juliette Low's objective in
beginning Girl Scouting was to
"inspire girls with the highest
ideals of character, conduct,
patriotism, and service so that
they may become happy and resourceful citizens." This' still
is the objective of today's organization.
Great Trail Council has a
membership of over 12,000 girls
and 2,000 adults. The Council
serves Stark, Tuscarawas, and
Carroll Counties plus parts of
Wayne, Mahoning, Columbiana,
and Harrison counties.
Both adults and girls will
mark their 60th birthday this
year by taking part in Special
Community service projects,
by attending worship services
together on Sunday, March 12,
and by each lighting the World
Trefoil luminaria symbolizing
the unity of Girl Scouts and
Girl Guides all over the world.
